If so, it'll need far greater consistency in order to really work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted June 23, 2023 Share #5 Posted June 23, 2023 Please don't tell me this is some sort of plan to ultimately combine the B42 with the proposed network redesign's "B60" (B'way Junction - Breukelen Houses).... Consider how the current B42 functions in today's network, in regards to fare collection.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean all five. Manhattan and Queens routes have seen their fare share of farebeaters increase over the past few years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted June 23, 2023 Share #10 Posted June 23, 2023 I don't know if the B35 counts. At most stops, I boarded the bus at times, at major transfer stops like Church Av and Flatbush Av - B41 etc., there's a group of people waiting on the corner of the side for the two doors to open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen this same thing occur on the B38. In Queens you do have a few people who will just board through the back but most will still go through the front and ask the driver for a ride.

It’s like if you can’t beat the farebeaters then join them. I am definitely seeing more police presence in the subways which is good but how long will that last. Also with the free routes the money to pay for such a thing has to come from somewhere and it will certainly be us who are old enough to pay taxes who will ultimately have to pay for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t mean to sound rude, but I’m not paying for anyone that won’t cough up $2.75 because they think farebeating is “cool”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
